T

illamook County Women’s Resource Center (TCWRC) staffers want to shed a purple light on domestic violence and county officials have pledged their support.

The Tillamook County Board of Commissioners unanimously agreed on a proclamation recognizing October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, following a TCWRC presentation during the board’s Sept. 21 meeting.

Purple is the color for Domestic Violence Awareness Month. TCWRC officials are asking community members, businesses, local governments and other groups to display purple lights and ribbons throughout October to show their allegiance to the cause.

“What you’re doing helps the whole community,” Commissioner Tim Josi told TCWRC staff members. “Little by little it helps the entire society grow up and be responsible.”

TCWRC officials said since the passage of the Violence Against Women Act nearly 20 years ago, society’s response to domestic violence has significantly improved.

However, studies show one in four women, and one in seven men, nationwide

Body found near Manzanita Dead humpback whale to feed environment of Short Sands Beach identified as Portland man Citizen photo/Ann Powers The body of the dead, 38-foot humpback whale that disappeared from Falcon Cove Beach was found two miles south on Short Sands Beach.

I

t appears what some are calling the “everreturning whale” may have found a permanent home on Short Sands Beach in Oswald West State Park, according to the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD).

During interpretative talks last weekend, State Park Ranger Ken Murphy said OPRD plans to leave the 38-foot dead humpback where it is and allow its carcass to feed the surrounding ecosystem.

When a deceased whale washes ashore during peak season, it would usually be buried by the park’s department. But Murphy said

because of current cool temperatures and few beach-goers, OPRD plans to leave the humpback to scavengers as it decomposes over the next several weeks.

“The plans right now are to let it take the circle of life approach and let other animals feed on it and let it decay naturally,” he said.

“It’s pretty important, especially just prior to winter, for these types of animals to have a food source - the predatory birds, microorganisms, fish and crab and what not.”

In addition, officials said there’s no way to get the necessary heavy equipment down to the

ortland Police Bureau officials report a body recovered from Neahkahnie Mountain, Sept. 23, is believed to be that of Duane Irving Anderson, 86, of Portland.

Officers said Anderson was reported missing when he didn’t show for a scheduled golf game and didn’t return home on Sept. 21.

Anderson’s car was discovered at a viewpoint on Neahkahnie Mountain along U.S. Highway 101. He also had ties to the Nehalem Bay area, according to reports.

Opposites attract Nehalem voters to the polls in upcoming election

Citizen photo/Ann Powers Nehalem mayoral candidate Micah White, his wife Chiara Ricciardone and their son Zia, join a recent Nehalem People’s Association Meeting at the North Coast Recreation District.

M

ayor Bill Dillard and his political opponent Micah White agree on a couple of things – Nehalem is a beautiful place to live with great neighbors.

After that, there’s not much the two have in common – starting with how to achieve community unity for the small coastal town’s population of 266.

Dillard wants to maintain the status quo.

“I’d like to see it stay the same,” said the longtime local who was appointed to his position last May after the former mayor resigned.

White wants change.

“The current city council doesn’t actually do anything,” said the Occupy Wall Street co-creator, author and public speaker. “Nehalem represents the solution to what is facing America right now –

which is the decline of democracy.

This community has lots of ideas.

But, what they don’t have is control over the city council.”

And that’s why he and his supporters are trying to motivate the city’s 187 eligible voters that casting a ballot for Micah, is giving the community a voice.

“Micah wants to take it where the people want to take it,” his wife and collaborator, Chiara Ricciardone, said during a Nehalem

People’s Association (NPA) meeting at the North Coast Recreation District, Sept. 4.

White formed NPA to serve as a community town hall prior to city council meetings. He said he wants the gatherings to “feel like walking into a friend’s living room.”

“Citizens don’t have any power,” White said. “So, you have to

Meet the new Mayor of Muttzanita

By Ann Powers editor@northcoastcitizen.com

The Northwest Coast’s newest elected official is a three-year-old Shorthaired Border Collie named Rhythm.

As the Mayor of Muttzanita 2016, the former shelter pup led the Muttzanita Festival’s eighth annual parade, greeted her constituents and also took home firstplace in the ‘Tricks’ competition, all held in Manzanita on Sept. 18.

Rhythm’s guardians, Aftyn and Timothy Garvin of Nehalem, accompanied their beloved best friend to event – along with about

130 other dogs and their faithful owners.

“Six months ago she was stuck in a kennel on a farm and now she’s part of our family and the Muttzanita mayor,” Timothy said.

“She’s just been such a sweetheart for us and really a true success story for the shelter.”

And that’s what the fundraiser is all about – putting pets first.

One-hundred percent of Muttzanita’s proceeds benefit the Tillamook Animal Shelter and Animal Haven by the Sea rescue.

“I like seeing good dog owners,” said Terra Marzano, event volunteer and guardian to the

2015 Muttzanita mayor – a French Bulldog named Louie.

“He likes to be under the radar,” Marzano added. “So he’s okay with not being mayor this year.”

Hosted by Four Paws on the Beach, a Manzanita boutique catering to dogs and cats, the festival unites animal lovers from near and far, according to the shop’s co-owner, Matthew Ruona.

“We’ve been really happy with the turn out,” he said, who purchased Four Paws with his wife

n Whale Continued from Page A1 area to bury or remove the massive mammal.

The whale’s carcass was first discovered near Falcon Cove Beach Sept. 17, where it stayed for three days.

However, high tide washed it out to sea before marine biologists could finish an examination.

About 24 hours later, the whale made a comeback just two miles south. OPRD officials said the location is stable enough that it probably won’t disappear again.

Murphy noted the creature’s internal organs are gone and it has been dead too long to determine how it died. From what researchers could observe, he said it is believed to have been a young, healthy whale and its body showed no signs of trauma.

Officials said humpbacks can grow to weigh up to 52 feet long, weigh nearly 80,000 pounds, live into their 80s and that they’re very social creatures who like to sing and play.

OPRD encourages visitors to see the body, but they are not allowed to take a sample or touch the carcass. Moreover, visitors should keep their pets away from the body and always keep an eye on the ocean for safety.

Every day, three women die in the U.S. as a result of domestic violence and millions live in silent fear within their own homes.

Moreover, children can be negatively affected for life when witnessing violence in the household. It may influence their learning ability, physical health, emotional wellbeing and mental stability, according to TCWRC Executive Director Kathleen Marvin.

“It’s really amazing how broad the impact is,” she said. “If you don’t think you know anybody, you do. Our work is not

done, but change is possible.”

Some of TCWRC’s activities planned throughout October include: • Oct. 12 – Art and Resilience in Practice, 5:30 p.m. A therapeutic art workshop incorporating art as a healing tool for survivors of domestic violence and trauma in the community. This is part of an ongoing monthly series TCWRC offers for learning opportunities on various topics. RSVP to 503-842-9486 or amber@ tcwrc.net.

• Oct. 26 – Trauma Informed Care, 9:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. at the Tillamook Library. Learn skills and tools to put this concept into practice, presented by Allison Brady from SAFE of Columbia County.

The walk (or drive) will continue to Carnahan Park for TCWRC’s annual commemoration.

In addition to bringing awareness to domestic violence, Marvin said the October’s activities will help bring awareness to the center – which also serves men who are victims.

“A lot of people in the community don’t know we exist and how to find us,” she said.

We can also upgrade the water system with no substantial impact to taxes.”

He also emphasized that Nehalem residents enjoy a relatively low tax rate at 42 cents per $1,000 square feet if accessed property value.

Moreover, Dillard emphasized that residents do have the opportunity to voice their opinions at city council meetings and sees no reason to change that structure – too much.

“Sometimes we don’t talk enough,” he said. “(The public) is allowed to speak if they plan ahead and get on the agenda – then they’re on the agenda.”

And the differences don’t stop there between the political rivals.

Dillard was raised in Nehalem, graduated from Neah-Kah-Nie High School and completed one year of community college at Chemeketa in Salem. He currently works for the phone company, has served on City Council since 2003 and was a local firefighter for 14 years.

He and his wife, Nancy, have three children – two in college and one in high school.

White moved to Nehalem from Berkeley in 2012 with Ricciardone. They young couple first met at Swarthmore College where they earned their bachelors degrees in 2005, with MAs to follow. They now have a

one-year-old son.

White earned his PhD from European Graduate School in Switzerland and Ricciardone is currently finishing up her doctorate, which she’ll receive from UC-Berkeley.

White said the Occupy Wall Street movement aimed to raise the social consciousness of Americans and bring attention to the disparity of wealth between the classes. While he acknowledged Occupy did not meet its ultimate goal of getting money out of politics, it did raise awareness to the need for a true democracy.

He said brings the lessons of what he calls Occupy’s “constructive failure” to his mayoral campaign. And in his book, The End of Protest: A New Playbook for Revolution, White wrote: “Nehalem is still coming of age. Time moves more slowly here. In many ways, our town is still living in a previous era of democracy. Life here offers a second chance for rever-

ence… It was by chance that we settled in Nehalem.

Only later did I learn that in the indigenous language Nehalem means ‘the place where the people live.’”

White said if elected, he pledges to be “responsive, welcoming and positive” by holding the NPA gatherings prior to city council meetings, maintain a community newsletter, develop a Vision Committee to work on a 100-year plan for the city, and give residents power over the decisions being made by their council.

Dillard added if he was re-elected, he has no major changes in store.

“There’s nothing new on my plate right now,” he explained. “I’ll be here, I’ve been here, I’ll always be here.”

ot sure what brought the subject of this article to mind, but it did set me off on a big nostalgia trip. It could be the internet which is both a blessing and a problem in that along with good things you find there are negative opinions about anything you can imagine.

Most legs of my life have been tied back to previous experiences where I met people or picked up some particular skills. I was kind of a late bloomer in that I started high school just 5’2” and about 100 lbs. That meant that I had to be a little quick with the words when threatened with any kind of mayhem. Those negotiating skills became very valuable later in life..

Most of the girls in our class were bigger than me so I didn’t have a girl friend. That gave me the time to become the water

boy for the schools football and basket ball teams. Our basketball team won the State Championship and it was a thrilling experience. That brought about lots of after school activities and kept me out of trouble.

A great deal of my time was spent working with the Boy Scouts where I talked my way into being a staff member at summer camp on Hood Canal and allowed me to make friends from all over the State.

One of those Boy Scout leaders was responsible for me being interested in becoming a Submarine sailor and I had some wonderful challenges and experiences with many years in the Naval Reserve and a couple of them on active duty during the Korean War. Those swimming lessons when I was a Boy Scout came in handy as I became a submarine swimmer and found out how much

squirt he was a big shot in high school, but I was the Mayor on this end of our acquaintance.

Maybe the best part of all these memories is counting the numbers of those old friends who spent their lives making things better for others. One of my Boy Scout friends ended up being a three term Governor in Washington. Another Scouting friend who got me interested in submarines, retired as a Rear Admiral in the Navy and a Supreme Court Judge. The good thing is that I did have the chance to tell both of those individuals about the positive influence they had on my life and a little bit about the good causes I have been privileged to work with over the years. I think it was my mother who told me at an early time in my life, that you are often judged by the company you keep. I guess I can say that I was pretty darn lucky!

was managing the company employment office and arranged for me to join them for lunch one day. We talked about various departments and where I might find something I could do for a living. None of us ever thought that I would get a job and end up as a manager in various parts of the business.

A sad part of old age is the losing of all those friends you met along the way. From a senior class in high school that had several hundred students just five of them showed up to a recent reunion. I still have annuals with pictures of all of us young people. I am surprised when I look through them of how many I really didn’t know.

I do know that several us eventually lived here in Oregon and probably one of the largest coincidence was when two us ended up on the City Council here in Wheeler. While I was just a little

Re-Elect Senator Roblan I hope you will join me in re-electing State Senator Arnie Roblan.

I have known and worked closely with Senator Roblan since he was the Speaker of the Oregon House of Representatives. He is now our state senator for the southern half of Tillamook County from Third Street in Tillamook south.

Arnie was previously a high school principal before running for the Oregon House of representatives. He cares about the future of our children and is a strong supporter of education.

He is also takes a strong interest in our natural resources. Arnie played a lead role in helping us craft a farm bill in the last legislative session that will allow our farmers to have a voice in land use matters that direct affect their operations.

I can tell you from first-hand experience that when I call and ask Arnie for help he is always there for us. He is in a leadership role in the state senate.

Please join me in keeping State Senator Arnie Roblan in a leadership position in the Oregon Senate and as our effective State Senator.

Mark Labhart County Commissioner Same sex marriage and faith Over the last two months I have been reflecting on the Guest Column that appeared in the June 23rd edition of this paper.

I found this column disturbing for many reasons including: an “elevated” status (from letter to the editor to guest column), printing without checking for accuracy and the use of sensational language. I once was told by another paper’s editors that the reason mainline faith perspectives and actions don’t make the papers is because we “are not news” i.e.: not sensational. This policy perpetuates a skewed view of the range of religious beliefs and practices.

For this reason I have decided to submit the following: Regarding same sex marriage: “The right to choose one’s lover and family is surely the most precious of human

rights, reflecting our belief that sexuality and spirituality are intertwined in loving, committed relationships.”

Regarding transgender persons: “We recognize that when we embrace the Light within the full spectrum of gender identities in our Meeting, our worship deepens and our community is enriched.”

These statements of belief come from Pacific Yearly Meeting (Quakers in the NW) and Multnomah Friends Meeting (where I am a member) respectively. We are part of the Community of Welcoming Congregations (of OR and SW WA) which includes Quaker, Catholic, Lutheran (ELCA), United Methodist, United Church of Christ, Unitarian Universalist, Metropolitan Community, Jewish and Buddhist congregations among others. The CWC includes over 100 congregations that believe our faith leads us to more openness, more tolerance, deeper understanding and compassion toward our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning selves, friends, family, neighbors, classmates, co-workers, fellow citizens.

Cathy Tinker Manzanita Women’s club extends thanks A cool, cloudy day greeted tourists and locals alike as they headed out on August 27th to purchase their ticket and map for the locations of the six unique private homes available for viewing in the Manzanita area.

Event organizers, Mary Brophy and Phyllis Scott expressed their appreciation for the 277 tickets sold for the annual fundraising event, which started 21 years ago when The Women’s Club of Manzanita and the Manza-Whee-Lem Kiwanis joined together to raise funds for local children and families in need.

This year marked the first year The Women’s Club would handle the event on their own.

The group extends thanks to the private homeowners, the volunteer hosts at the homes, and former members of the Manza-Whee-Lem Kiwanis for their involvement. Appreciation is given to the following local community businesses for their continued support of our

efforts to raise funds for those agencies that help women and children in need in our community: Bread and Ocean Charley Lostrom-Lostrom & Co Real Estate Cloud & Leaf Bookstore Diane K. Gibson, CPA Dillon Communication Finnesterre Four Paws on the Beach Hans Tonjes, Real Estate Broker Howell’s Floor Covering Left Coast Siesta Manzanita Beach Getaway Manzanita Cones & Coffee Manzanita Grocery & Deli Manzanita Lumber Company Manzanita Mudd Dogs Manzanita Rental Company Mother Nature’s Natural Foods North Coast Watchman Services Salt & Paper San Dune Inn Scovel Service Center & Towing LLC Sunset & Ocean Edge Vacation Rentals Syzygy T-Spot The Spindrift Inn Toylandia/Manzanita Sweets Walt Covert-Real Estate Broker The Women’s Club fundraising efforts support the goal of “Women helping Women of all ages and circumstance to make lives, families and community stronger.” This focus for making a difference has resulted in the group’s support of these organizations as well as provide a scholarship for a young woman from Neah-Kah-Nie High School.

Neah-Kah-Nie High School Career Center, Resource Centers at NeahKah-Nie Middle School, Garibaldi and Nehalem Elementary, Friends of NCRD, Healthy Families, House of Grace, Marie Mills Center, The Rinehart Clinic, Tillamook Count Secret Angels, Women’s Resource Center.

Wheeler alumni feel like teenagers again for a day

By Brad Mosher bmosher@countrymedia.net It was about friends.

It was about memories.

It was also a chance for the former students and graduates of Wheeler High School to help keep alive a beloved school that closed more than 60 years ago.

Once again, St. Marys by the Sea became a one-day home for the former Wheeler Loggers to hold a reunion recently in Rockaway Beach.

According to one of the organizers, Shirley Magnuson, more than 45 people attended. “They didn’t

have to graduate. We have grade school kids who have come, along with their families. Sometimes, the daughters and sons bring their moms and dads.

“We had finger food for all day and a hot meal for lunchtime,” she added. “We are here from 8 in the morning to about 4:30 in the afternoon. We do a lot of visiting and feel like teenagers for a day.”

The reunion has been going on for about 25 years, most recently using the catholic church in Rockaway Beach as its home.

But, that wasn’t always the case, according to some of the alumni.

They were telling stories about the time years ago when the reunion was held outside at rest area on a local highway.

It was also a chance again to recall their times at the school which closed down in 1953, said Magnuson, a 1952 graduate.

Along the wall, they had pictures from earlier reunions posted for the people and their families to look at. On one table, there were old scrapbooks with newspaper clippings and photos for the people to look at again.

There was an old newspaper clipping of the Wheeler High

School football team which had a very successful unbeaten season, with victories over Seaside (61-0), Garibaldi, a Tillamook reserves team and Nehalem.

They also had a clipping of a story and photo which included a former Wheeler principal who was a member of a Willamette University football team that was temporarily trapped in Hawaii when Pearl Harbor was attacked in Dec. 1941.

The reunion will be repeated again next September in the same location again, according to Magnuson.

This year, Magnuson said that

they had a graduate from both the Class of 1944 and 1946.

Still, many of the former classmates noted how little they had changed over the years. “He’s still a Brackenbrough,” one woman said with a smile as she said goodbye to a former classmate Thursday afternoon.

Others were spending most of the time at the reunion just visiting, engaged in conversations about old times, old schools and old friends.

Some of those conversations will be continued again next September, when the former Wheeler Loggers will meet again.

Manzanita merchants mull customer bag choices

By Jan Behrs

In July, Fresh Foods in Manzanita switched from plastic to paper bags for customers who don’t bring their own. People noticed and applauded.

“We thought about this a long time before we did Artist Chris Jordan shows what 60,000 plastic bags (the number used in the U.S. every 5 seconds) look like. it,” said store co-owner Jon Source: Reuseit.com Newsroom.

Welsh. “It started when CARTM stopped accepting plastic bags for recycling. We also kept track of the discounts we were giving people who brought their own bags, and once we hit a certain point -- the rate had actually skyrocketed — we made the switch.”

Chung Lee, co-owner with wife, Judy, of Manzanita The Tillamook County Year of Wellness team is interested in learning about what is most Grocery & Deli (The Little important to you. Your input will help us understand what programs and resources are needed Apple), also noted an increase to support health as part of the Year of Wellness.

As Welsh noted, plastic bags likely will always have a place in grocery stores for holding wet items such as produce and meat, but singleuse plastic carry bags aren’t really a necessity.

“Paper costs about four times as much as plastic, but it’s better for the environment,” he said. “We don’t charge for paper; we just consider it a cost of doing business. We’ve had no blast-back at all from our decision.”

Several Manzanita businesses have always used paper bags. At Unfurl Clothing, co-owner Suzy Freeman noted that the store buys bags made from post-consumer recycled paper, in keeping with its mission to provide environmentally sustainable merchandise. “We don’t mind

paying more,” she said.

So, why are plastic bags a problem?

Portland’s Office of Planning & Sustainability lists a few reasons: The lightweight bags blow out of garbage trucks and recycling bins, plugging storm drains and polluting rivers and seas. In the ocean, all kinds of plastic break down into tiny pieces, absorb toxic chemicals, and kill birds and other wildlife.

As the Smithsonian Institution’s Ocean Portal notes, bags with handles strangle sea mammals, and turtles and whales mistake bags for jellyfish and choke on them.

According to Environment Oregon, plastic debris in the ocean kills more than 100,000 animals every year.

Plastic bags consume oil and natural gas when manufactured, and they never biodegrade. When people put them into comingled recycling bins, the bags jam machinery and contaminate other recyclables, raising trash and recycling costs.

Paper bags aren’t perfect, either. They require energy and natural resources to manufacture. But they’re much easier to recycle (they go with cardboard at CARTM), and they break down quickly in the environment, according to the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality.

The best option, though, is for shoppers to bring their own reusable bags.

It’s been only since the early 1980s that grocery stores have used plastic bags. Now, Oregonians alone consume more than 1 billion single-use plastic bags each year, recycling less than 5 percent of those bags. While some retailers, such as Fred Meyer, collect plastic bags for recycling, the market for this type of plastic isn’t large.

Recycling centers such as CARTM don’t take it.

“CARTM stopped accepting plastic bags for recycling

in 2013,” said Executive Director Karen Reddick Yurka. “It cost more to ship them to market than we received for them, they took a tremendous amount of time to process, and the mess they created required the baler to be shut down for cleaning afterwards.”

A report by Moore Recycling Associates for the plastic-film industry says that plastics buyers such as China have reduced their used-bag purchases in recent years. And while the usual end product for recycled plastic bags is composite lumber, that market has decreased, too.

The cities of Portland, Corvallis, Eugene and Ashland have banned single-use plastic bags, and a statewide ban is in the works for California as people realize that a few minutes’ convenience isn’t worth the devastation plastic causes.

Melinda Merrill, regional manager for community affairs for Fred Meyer, says: “We operate in many communities where plastic bags are banned, so we are accustomed to making it work for our business. We work with local municipalities that want to pass a bag ban – we have sort of a template legislation we encourage them to consider so that the bag bans at least look the same all over. We’ve always had signs in our cart corrals reminding customers to bring their reusable bags, and we offer many reusable bag options for great prices.”

Says Jon Welsh of Fresh Foods: “We saw how major metro areas were switching to paper, and we thought we might as well make the switch now and get used to it.”

Rockaway Beach Citizens for Watershed Protection (RBCWP) and their partners launched a new effort to stop the spraying of toxic pesticides around Short Sands Beach and Oswald West State Park.

Group representatives said a team of over 20 experts discussed the issue with a large audience of park visitors, Sept. 24.

“We are so pleased with the extremely positive response from park visitors, area businesses and Park staff,” RBCWP’s Nancy Webster said. “We hope Weyerhaeuser is listening to the concerns of locals and Park visitors and stops the spraying.”

‘Save Short Sands’ stickers and postcards are showing up from Astoria to Pacific City and hundreds of letters have been submitted to Oregon legislators about the issue, she added.

RBCWP officials said the group will be scheduling additional educational outreach events. For more information visit saveshortsands.org.

Pirates cruise to Cloverdale for league opener

The Pirates will head to Cloverdale Friday for their first Northwest League varsity football game in two years.

A year after the NeahKah-Nie program was downgraded to junior varsity and eight-man level after being bruised up with injuries, the Pirates again have injuries on the mind.

The Pirates’ head coach said Tuesday the team was hampered in the loss to Clatskanie on the road with the loss of two seniors – running backs Max Halverson and Greg Elligsen.

Now, Bennett is hoping the team will be at full strength when the Pirates face the Nestucca Bobcats in a 7 p.m. contest.

The Bobcats are coming off a 22-0 win over Warrenton, the team’s first win of the season.

The Pirates will be entering league play Friday as the second-ranked Northwest squad, in spite of the 1-2 non-league record against 3A level schools. Knappa is the first on the poll at 18th, with the Pirates right behind

at number 19. Vernonia is ranked 21 st, while Gaston was 23 rd on the list. Nestucca is listed at 28th on the 2A poll.

Going into league play Gaston and Vernonia have the best non-league record at 2-2. Knappa and Nestucca both have 1-3 records.

Tigers handle Priates A short-handed NeahKah-Nie squad dropped a non-league road contest to 3A Clatskanie Friday, 4614.“We were without both of our senior running backs throughout the majority of the game due to minor injuries,“ according to coach Chris Bennett.

“We received the opening kickoff and drove down the field in 1:56 to score first.

“After that Clatskanie was able to move the ball very effectively against our defense,” he said.

“We did not do a very good job on our defensive assignments or our tackling.

much bigger and more physical up front than we were,” he said.

“Josh Longfellow did a great job stepping in at tail back when Max (Halverson) injured his hand. We are looking forward to being healthy for our game against a tough Nestucca team this week.”

Nestucca is led by quarterback Cole Strober, who threw for 110 yards and ran for another 113 yards on 12 carries.

Kyle Zeller was the workhorse against Warrenton, with 125 yards on 32 carries.

Strober threw for three touchdown passes.

The Bobcats started the season with three straight losses to Ilwaco from Washington (33-22), Willamina (51-20) and Monroe (55-20) before getting into the win column against Warrenton.

The Bobcats have scored 84 points in four games, while Neah-Kah-Nie has scored 51 points in three contests.

The Northwest’s untapped bounty; green tomatoes

The Golightly Gourmet Dana Zia “Cooks who understand these introverted green beauties can promote their richness, versatility and color appeal to the world.” Jolene George

t is getting to be that I time of the year when I start thinking about what

sort of soups to make. It is also that time of the year when unripe green tomatoes are hanging abandoned in the garden with the spiders. In the past, I have always thought what a waste that is, but this year I am looking at those bulging green beauties with…..lust.

Green tomatoes are actually a windfall when you know what to do with them. First suggestion is to take one of those ignored waifs from your garden and cut it up and taste it.

You will notice that they have a very mild taste and will easily take on the flavors of the foods you cook them with. Yet, they are firm enough to withstand the heat of the fire, unlike their outgoing older cousins. This makes them a very versatile veggie with limitless possibilities.

They can do soups, gratins, salads, salsas, sandwiches and even desserts.

It is important to learn a

few tricks when working with the under employed, unripe tomato. First off, make sure and pick the biggest ones possible.

They will be the less bitter.

Second, you will want to core the unripe tomato because its core is woodier and more acidic than in a ripe tomato. Do this by slicing the tomato in half and the core will be a small hard white spot near the stem. Cut that out with a small paring knife and your green tomato adventures have just begun!

The other trick with green tomatoes is to cook them, either in a hot skillet or under the broiler in the oven. The heat will bring out their untapped sweetness that the sun didn’t have a chance to do. An easy way to eat green tomatoes is to fry some slices in a skillet with a bit of butter and serve with fried eggs on top. Super easy and delicious. Also baking with them is a revelation and I’m going to make a green tomato goat cheese tart (gluten free of course) for dinner tonight. (Obviously I have some green tomatoes on my hands) Once you get started on experimenting with your unripe tomatoes you’ll never look at them the same. Try breaking outside the fried green tomatoes box and using them in different recipes. I was amazed at how many recipes there actually are for these little green nuggets.

We tried them in a gratin, a crisp, salsa, soup and then this salad.

Our guinea pigs decided that the salad was the most inventive and delicious.

So here it is presented for you to try. Don’t be shy to do a search online for recipes for green tomatoes.

I highly recommend the New York Times green tomato salsa as well. It was second in our taste trials.

Happy experimenting!

Caramelized Green Tomato and Nectarine Green Salad

For the vinaigrette

wedges 1 teaspoon of sugar ½ teaspoon of salt A few drizzles of olive oil 6 cups or so of mixed salad greens 1 cup of fresh basil leaves, shredded ½ cup or more of crumbled blue cheese ½ cup of chopped toasted hazelnuts or walnuts Fresh cracked black pepper

4 tablespoons of chopped fresh basil 2 tablespoons of finely chopped shallots 4 tablespoons of champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar 4 tablespoons of olive oil 1 tablespoon of honey 1 teaspoon of salt Few cranks of black pepper Put all the ingredients into a jar and put on the lid. (Important safety tip, make sure it is a tight fitting lid!) Shake it all up till well blended.

For the Salad 2 large nectarines or apples, cut into thin wedges 4 unripe tomatoes, cut into

hanging in the wings with the nuts. Heat up your favorite large skillet and add a few drizzles of olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, lower the heat to medium and add the tomatoes and nectarines, laying them on their sides. Try not to crowd them in the skillet and cook these little stars, without disturbing them till them begin to brown. Flip them onto their other sides and caramelize that side too.

Working quickly, remove the tomatoes and nectarines from the skillet and arrange them artfully on the greens. Sprinkle with the blue cheese and hazelnuts and drizzle with the dress-

What to do…..

In a medium bowl, toss the tomato and nectarines wedges with the sugar and the salt. While those wait for their starring role, line up the supporting cast by mixing the salad greens and basil together. Arrange 6 salad plates with the greens. Crumble up the blue cheese and have it

ing. Crank a bit of pepper on top and serve immediately to some lucky family and friends. You will never look at green tomatoes the same.
